Bluestar 60' range

17 years ago

Hello. My wife and I are planning on upgrading our kitchen. We are thinking about a 60" bluestar range.

I sent an e-mail to eurostoves for a quote but did not receive any information, what do the 60" bluestar ranges start at? The configuration we are contemplating is the 6 burner with 24" griddle.

As far as the grill option on these, is it ceramic? We also will be getting a quality bbq outside. How does the grill on the bluestar compare to an outdoor grill such as a Lynx or Twin Eagles?

    I am going to my local appliance store today and I can ask their 60 " bluestart range price for you.

    i am looking a range as well. Bluestar range does not come with electric oven. Do you like gas better than electric?

    Currently I like gas better than electric, but I have not ever owned a professional quality electric oven.

    ajmadison.com is a good place to get an idea of pricing. They list 60" with 6 burners and 24" griddle at $12,799.

    Thank you for the link. Is Eurostoves close to this price?

    for whatever reason I don't see your email for a price request.

    If you would care to send me another email I will return as soon as possible.

    Trevor,

    I sent another e-mail using the "contact us" portion of your website. Thank you.

    I found out the price is $13,237 at a local appliance store.

  • 17 years ago

    Hmmmmm, $13237 for a stove, What is $13237(I know not what it usta be) but for me, it was 2 rooms, Master bed & bath.
    New armstrong hardwood floors(bed and bath) $3200
    New French Doors(replaced aluminum slider) $5000
    Retracting Screens for above doors $ 800
    Hunter Douglass (Motorized Blinds for doors) $2000
    Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV $ 800
    Toto Dual Flush Toilet $ 400
    Remove popcorn ceiling and paint both rooms $1200
    Total $13400
    Course You're gonna tell me that it will boil water faster than my Icon induction cooktop, Simmer better
    Oven door will be cooler than my (Coolest Door In the Industry) Electrolux Icon Oven?
    It will Click less than my oven or cooktop which will never need the ignitors or ignitor module replaced?
    Oven will clean itself like mine?
    Seems like a high price to pay for "Peering at a Blue flame"
    I do that with my fireplace, or out go outside and fire up the DCS.
    Hope it is all ya think that a $13K stove is supposed to be, Meanwhile I will enjoy my two just remodeled rooms

    Gary,

    Thanks for letting us know your preference. Unfortunatly my master bed and bath are already suitable for me, but the kitchen is not.

  • 17 years ago

    Gary,

    You certainly spend a lot of time telling people they are wasting their money. What's the point? If all you need to do is boil water, buy yourself an electric kettle for $20 and enjoy your 40" LCD TV. I can accept that you don't cook so why can't you accept that some people here actually do more than boil water to make dinner. In any case, you're comparing apples to oranges. You might as well say, "geez what you paid for your house, I would have been able to buy 50 Kia's". Possibly true but hardly relevant or even remotely useful. BTW, have fun cooking Thanksgiving dinner in your $400 toilet.

    Now, for some constructive comments.. If you're planning to get a 60" range with a grill top, I'm sure you're looking at venting options as well. That beast will require an equally hefty hood so you shouldn't leave that decision until the end.

  • 17 years ago

    I am leaning more towards the griddle than the grill. This way I can do pancakes or teppanyaki, etc. If we use a grill it will probably be the outdoor grill.

    We will certainly need to get a new hood, but I have not done much research into that yet. Our current stove is up against an exterior wall so we can vent it out that way.

    Amcook
    The Op here did post price as part of his post, so this is "On topic" info. I guess you get out the "Mighty finger"
    anytime someone "Challenges A Price"? I recall somebody complaining about the price increases on new appilance models---I guess I best see if you Brow errrr make that "finger beat" them!
    I added some "Graphics" just to demonstrate how out of touch with reality , some of these prices have become.
    Now since the Appliance manufactures have circumvented our former "Fair Trade Laws", by renaming price fixin and I'm sure contributed to Political causes--so new laws are not passed, I guess all of us are just supposed to "Shut up & buy it", never mind that other appliance manufactures are watching those prices been run up a pole , and ppl like You saluting them, with nary a wimper. I'ts not hard to figure out what the other appliance manufactures will do: Raise Prices of course.
    We as consumers are the only ones that can, at least make an effort to keep prices reasonale--Well we could till
    "The Mighty Finger" said No No--Not allowed.
    I will pass on making a comment about the toilet, but use your imagination.
    Wife and I love to cook, and except for one goof, that has been corrected, We are thrilled with our kitchen, even after 3 Years.
    I did mention , "I do hope, the stove is all the user expects it to be.

    moelarrycurly,
    If you would really use the griddle often then that's great. In my experience they are hard to clean and can easily be replaced with a add-on cast-iron griddle when the need arises. Never had one at home but used one in a restaurant kitchen and they had to be scraped down with a metal scraper and occasionally with a cleaning stone. That said, with a 60" range, there's so much real estate that you might as well get one. With regard to the hood, you should really look into that more seriously. The costs for that size of hood might surprise you so it should be budgeted in.

    Gary,
    I would welcome a discussion of increasing prices of appliances and have participated in many discussions regarding that. Challenging rising prices is very different than denigrating someone's choices. The OP can correct me if I'm wrong but your post was written with a very condescending tone so before you talk about anyone else's "mighty finger" you might contemplate your own. Oh, I never said your post was off topic.. I only said that the comparison to your bed/bathroom is pointless.

  • 17 years ago

    It is nice of you to look after our Op's here, Amcook.
    I went back and reread my original post several times, as I had tried to avoid making it look like an attack on the OP, rather than an attack on over priced appliances.
    So, after carefully doing so, I probably should have left this out "Course You're gonna tell me that" and left it as a question, for anybody, that thinks appliances, like homes and (some cars),should be making an effort to control prices.
    My Apologies to the OP, if He took it as a personal attack.

    As You have said, I have said, sooooo many times, It's your kitchen, do what makes you happy.

    I still don't think we should ignor any price that we may feel is (or at least me) not justified when compaired to other options out there.
    If you have a better way to show the value of 13 grand and what it still can or can not do, have at it. I think seeing something graphically displayed, instead of just posting a number better demonstates what that stove costs.

    Anyway,moelarrycurly, enjoy it, It is certainly your right to build your dream Kitchen.
    Amcook is correct about the venting, very important.

    I just hope we can help the next person wanting a dream kitchen, to not have to dig so deep into their wallet.

    Gary,

    Holy Barnacles batman

    Hmmmmm $ 7800 for French doors.

    >>>New French Doors(replaced aluminum slider) $5000 >>>Retracting Screens for above doors $ 800 >>>Hunter Douglass (Motorized Blinds for doors) $2000Course youÂre gonna tell me that it will is more thermally efficient than my Pella of-the-rack $800 French doors form Lowes
    Open better?
    Screen better than mine?
    Do you have self cleaning glass like I do?
    Seems like a high price to pay for "peering at a set of doors"

    Hope it is all ya think that a $ 7800 set of doors is supposed to be, meanwhile I will go enjoy dinner with my 14 guests.

    Funny thing not one guest commented on my cheap old Pella French doors, but they sure did like the food and the fun.

    Want to come over  we do dinners like this once or twice a week  so guess what, my mega-$$$$$ kitchen gets much more use and gives me and my guests more enjoyment than my French doors ever will, they just kind of sit there. Got to go, a bottle of port is calling my name in the wine  cellar.

    Cheers.
